Study Abroad in Kenya | Wildlife Conservation Field Research

Learn wildlife conservation through hands-on field research with SFS at the Center for Endangered Species Conservation in Kenya. Track elephant movement in Amboseli's wetlands, study human–wildlife conflict with Maasai partners, and explore protected area management near Mt. Kilimanjaro. What you’ll do: - Track and age Amboseli’s savanna elephants using scan sampling to construct detailed behavioral ethograms. - Observe endangered mountain gorillas in Rwanda’s volcanic highlands under strict conservation guidelines, recording social interactions, feeding patterns, and family structures. - Analyze wildlife corridors against newly farmed parcels, comparing shifts in animal movement patterns with land-use records. - Deploy and monitor camera traps to identify lions, rhinos, and cheetahs, integrating findings into long-term datasets. - Conduct Directed Research: frame a stakeholder-driven question, collect and analyze field data with faculty guidance, and present actionable findings to local partners.
